(Disclaimer: This episode is not necessarily for everyone.  Not every Jew was a Levite…in like manner, not every follower of Jesus has a "Levitical Calling.")

We learn incredible lessons about this calling by looking in the natural at what the Torah teaches us about who the Levites were in the natural…how God separated them from the rest of the people…and what He gave them charge over.

You'll see how each step they went through finds present-day application and learn how many believers are living out this calling today.

(Disclaimer: This episode is not necessarily for everyone.  Not every Jew was a Levite…in like manner, not every follower of Jesus has a "Levitical Calling.")

This critical lesson covers the primary spiritual discipline of those God is calling to serve Him in a Levitical role:  Understanding the way God speaks.  

God doesn't communicate like you and I do.  He speaks using pictures which are multi-layered and magnificently deep.  It is considered the highest form of communication.  It is a new language!

Jesus kept saying things to those who have "eyes to see and ears to hear."  He was speaking metaphorically.  One being trained as a Levite must learn to SEE and HEAR differently.

The Levitical call has gone out, for Messiah is coming soon and needs His Levitical people identified and trained to serve Him.

Welcome to the Levitical Bootcamp!

As we celebrate Rosh Hashanah on October 2, 2025, we enter a New Year on God's calendar.  My research indicates we may now be just a year away from Jesus coming at the First Resurrection.

Yes, of course, I could be wrong....but as a chronicler, I have to be true to what I'm seeing and record it.  If I am correct, then the time is NOW for this teaching…for His invitation is going out to identify His "Royal Guard." 

My prayer is that you will hear His calling as clearly as I did.  It is an exciting journey to connect deeper with our Jewish forefathers and learn the spiritual disciplines to serve the Messiah in this role.

Here are the 7 things I'm going to be teaching in this mini-series:

1. How God speaks.
2. How He has wired YOU to hear.
3. The role and function of those God has called to be Levites.
4. God's timetable.
5. Specific dangers and vulnerabilities.
6. Navigational strategies.
7. Pulling it all together and prepare for our Exodus into the Heavenly Kingdom.

This episode is in response to an email I received from a lawyer in one of America's leading cities.  In his letter, I saw signs of an awakening I felt the need to chronicle, for it is significant. 

God is at work stirring the hearts of sincere followers of Jesus who find themselves unprepared to answer the questions of what is going on in the world.  The "Rapture" is not a topic of conversation because of Pan-Millenialism, the belief that "everything will pan out in the end."  

Because of the dark cloud whispering, "You're not supposed to know the day and the hour of His coming," the reality is no one is ready.  The Bridegroom is around the corner! 

Here's What You'll Learn:

• What this lawyer wrote which made me drop what I was doing to address it.
• The signs of awakening in the men and women God wants to use as legislators in the Kingdom.
• God's urgent call for His leaders to learn His legal system (the Torah) upon which the Messianic Kingdom is based.  
• Parable of the Ten Virgins seen through a Jewish lens - why 50% were not permitted into the wedding feast.
• What the Lord is saying to him and to us.

This episode is unsettling.  I urge you to pay attention to Rosh Hashanah this year, which falls on September 23rd.  This is a very important day:  Tishri 1, considered to be the birthday of the world and marks the new year on God's calendar.

On this day, we all "stand before God" whether we realize it or not…and decisions are made from the Heavenly Courts as to who will live, and who will die…who will be exalted, and who will be humbled.

If you consider yourself to be part of the "Bride of Messiah," and the warning is that "The Bride Is Defiled," you can see this is not an easy message to deliver.

Here's What You'll Learn:

• The convergence of 4 Hebraic concepts related to God's times and seasons.
• The different mandates for my two radio programs and how they affect you.
• The warning I have been prompted to sound and why.
• What can you do if you realize this warning is for you.

Nobody is talking about this.  Why?  After 35 years researching the biblical end of days, my spiritual antenna is pulsating telling me the Birthpangs (Tribulation) are right around the corner.  What triggers those 7 horrible years?  The Rapture!

Sadly, very few are prepared for an imminent Rapture.   

Sadder still...NO ONE is asking, "If it does come and I'm not taken, what happens next?"

The answers were found in the last 4 Torah portions in the book of Numbers.

In this episode, I share a series of "News Bulletins" about my future and how that may affect you.

When I began Lessons in the Ladder Days in 2021, I thought  producing this half-hour program was my final assignment…but it appears the Lord has taken off the training wheels and opened a door to produce a new 3-hour radio programming series that began on August 9, 2025. 

Here's What You'll Learn:

• What will happen to Lessons in the Ladder Days.
• How I heard that God had a final assignment I never saw coming.
• Why this assignment is so important to the Father.
• My plea to media corporations for a separate curriculum platform.
• The teaching that will be most critical Post-Rapture.
• The strategy that was revealed to reach the people on God's heart.
• The teachers partnering with me for this final assignment.
• Ways you can prepare your families for your "departure."

This episode has been a difficult one to develop because I have been on the receiving end of this snare more times than I can count.  There is nothing worse than being betrayed…but sadly, it is this very experience that characterizes 2025.  Betrayal is literally in the atmosphere!

Here's What You'll Learn:

• Why 2025 is characterized by betrayal.
• The 5 snares (traps by the enemy) that can lead one person to betray another.
• The worst snare of all which cannot be undone.
• Biblical evidence showing how God disciplines in the case of betrayal.
• What the enemy hopes to accomplish through betrayal.
• How does God want us to respond when we are betrayed?
• What can you do if you recognize yourself on the slippery slope?

No matter what is happening in Israel on a day-by-day basis, the intel and overall biblical perspective about this war from Rabbi Anava is critically important.

Here's What You'll Learn:

• The implications and takeaways from Israel's war with Iran.
• What is "Gog and Magog" and is this war it?
• Who is Gog…is he alive now…and should we be looking for him?
• What are the important takeaways for Christians and Jews?
• Where does Anava see us in the timeline before the Day of the Lord?

(Disclaimer: This episode was arguably the hardest one to write, requiring 3 re-writes…days of editing...and pushing through a tough spiritual battle.)

Now that the episode has finally come together, I see why there was so much  resistance.  I learned things in writing it I never imagined seeing.  As a chronicler recording what it is to be living in the last generation before the Rapture, I present my findings to you not as things written in stone – but the "parts" I believe I was privileged to "see" and "write" as part of our generation's Kingdom record.

Here's What You'll Learn:

• The 5 levels of interpreting the Torah – one of which is illustrated here.
• The 3 remaining sacred charges God entrusted to His people.
• An overview of Israel's journey to the Kingdom - why it was taken for us. 
• Numerical insights that point to the timetable of OUR Exodus.
• What these signals show us is likely to happen in the days ahead.
